The Level 3 Hybrid course is composed by 15 theory sessions held online + 3 review classes held online + 3 tasting sessions in the classrooms. The content is exactly the same as the classroom course, but it offers the comfort of following most of the lessons online.
The exam will be in the classroom at the end of the course.
The WSET Level 3 Award in Wines is designed to give a thorough understanding of the factors that account for the style, quality and price of the principal still, sparkling and fortified wines of the world. The qualification will assist those who are required to make professional evaluations of wines with regards to their style, quality and price.
The qualification provides the in-depth product knowledge required to underpin job skills and competencies, for example in product selection in the retail and hospitality sectors.
Successful candidates will be able to describe the characteristics of the principal wines of the world and give information on the key factors influencing style, quality and price. They will consequently be in a position to advise management, to answer customer queries authoritatively, and to make informed selections of wines in a variety of situations.

<<Why choosing Caplan?>>
1. The best WSET center in Japan
With an experience of over 20 years, Caplan Wine Academy is the center that created the highest number of WSET graduates in Japan. We are committed to offering the students excellent selection of wines and high standard of education. Our graduates are regularly awarded scholarships from WSET London for their outstanding results.
In 2018 we were one of the seven finalist schools nominated for the "WSET Educator of the Year 2018" award.
2. A complete route from Level 1 to Level 4
We offer a complete path in wine education from beginner to professional and we are the only school in Japan providing the Level 4 Diploma course. As such, our teaching is also focused on preparing the candidates for this very advanced certification.
3. A perfected curriculum to give the students an even deeper understanding
To help our candidates passing the WSET Level3, we have created an original session midway through the course (session 11) concerning the exam and the best way to tackle it. This way the students will have a deeper understanding of both the tasting and theory portion of the final test.
In order to enhance proficiency, three online review sessions will be held after completing the 3rd Session, 'Viticulture and Vinification' , after the 14th session, and after the 16th session. If you are unable to attend in person, you can watch the recorded sessions (with a deadline for viewing).
